honest shoal
I'm am talking about application_fees

I don't exactly understand your concern, could you plase elaborate?
Can Stripe generate these invoices, or do we need an external solution?
What do you mean by "these invoices"?
honest shoal
regarding billing management within Stripe Connect. Specifically, I would like to better understand how to invoice the application_fees that are applied to payments sent to connected accounts.
Could you confirm the best practices for issuing an invoice corresponding to the application_fees deducted from payments to sellers?

You don't "invoice" the application fee. It it just sent to the Platform account balance from the total charge amount. The Invoice is only presented to the customer to accept the initial payment.

But for accountability reasons we also need to generate an invoice of thoses fees for the seller to justify why receiving only $8.77
As the seller invoiced in the example 10$ to the client

Programmatically, this value can be found on the Invoice object: https://docs.stripe.com/api/invoices/object#invoice_object-application_fee_amount
If you need some kind of legal documetation to present to your connected account, you will need to prepare it yourself.
But they should also see it on their Stripe Dashboard, if they're a Standard or Express Connected account.
